4 ecuIiarities OF the sleeping Disease"
There is singular and invariably fatal
malady, called lethargus, peculiar to the
negroes of certain districts on the western
coast of Africa, which has never, we be
Geve, been noticed il the medical journals
of this country except in The Massachu-
sets Medical Journal, from which we
copy The patient, usually male adult,
is seized, without any premOnitory symp-
toms, with a sensation of drOwSiness,
which continues rapidly to increase, in
spite of all efforts to throw it off, until he
sinks into profound and seemingly nat
ural sleep. This continues for about
twenty-one days, when death takes place.
Throughout the course of the disease, the
patient preserves a quiet and peaceful
couutenance, may be easily aroused for
short time, will take nourishment, and
generally answer a few questions In a per
fectly rational manner The pulse, res
piration. and temperature remain normal
throughout, the pupil is neither dlIated
nor contracted ia any noticeable extent,
and the urine and faces are Yolded with
comparative regularity. With the eX-
capLion Of the abnormal tendency to sleep
nothing exists to denote disease.
Many careful post-mortem eXamina-
tions have been made by competent men,
but nothing of an abnormal character has
been found, while every remedy that
could possibly be of any avail has been
used without any apparent beneficial eff
feet. They sleep on, and quietly glide
into eternity in spite of professional
skill.-Scientific American

\ Famous Tree at vicksburg.

Twenty years ago one and half
miles northeast from Vicksburg, Gen. L.
: Grant received the surrender of Vicks-
burg and the Confederate army defending
IL. under green tree, few hundred
yards from the Confederate line OF de-
tense, from Gen. Pemberton, the COrfed-
crate commander. This surrender tree,
as il was called, was all cut down and car
ried off by relic hunters, aud even the
very stump of the tree even with the
ground. The United States government
then erected granite monument to com
memOrate the spot and event; but the
relic-hunters Clipped and defaced this so
bad. v that the government removed il to
the National cemetery of Nicksburg for
preservation, and erected n large 100
pound gun that stands about fifteen feet
high, with the inscription on it:
The Surrender of Vicksburg,
July 4, 1868, to Gen Z. S Grant,
by Gen. Pemberton.
The gun is surrounded by a low stone
wall about two feet high; the numerous

An August Tribunal,

Everything about the Supreme
Court is impressive and awe-inspir-
ing. Even tile two trim negro men
who sit ut the inner aud outer doors
and noiseless knobs, TO allow per-
sons to pass in and out, apparently
perform that duty with II deep sense
of their responsibility. The semi-cir-
cular chamber, with its stately col
ums of mottled Potomac marble, it's
half-domed roof lighted by skylights,
its substantial, old fashioned furniture
and the rich upholstery of tue sofas
arranged upon the sides for the &C
commodation ofspectators, recall his
toric scenes, glorified as they are
viewed through the dim mist of time,
and it's walls seem ready to echo the
voices of the past. The appearance
and bearing of the nine elderly gentle
men who sit in a row upon raised
platform behind long desk, clothed
in their black silk robes; the absolute
silence enjoined upon all not having
to address the court, and the subdued
monotones in which the business is
transacted, make one feel that here
at least are gravity and attention be-
fitting the dignity of a government.

Peg Away Jobs on the Farm

With all due allowance tor recrea-
ton, reading, etc, there come inter-
walls In ordinary work on the farm,
half days or more, when farmer and
men unprofitably use their time.
They might just as we'll be at work,
but do not know just what to go at,
and the time slips away with telling
stories and Intellectual "puttering''
about the place. There is plenty OF
work needing attention If they would
only go at it. The careful farmer will
look out for this and always Ehave a
"pegaway" job in mind for the oc-
casion. 1t may be cutting wood, OF
forking over manure or withdrawing
hen-house or cow stables. Frequently
there are permanent improvements
needed, which the farmer is slow to
begin, but which, once started, under
the "peg-away" plan, would be ac-
complished before he was aware of it.
The ground may need grading SO as
to give better slope to the lawn, OF
to drain the surface water from the
cellar or outbuildings. Hedgerows
may need clearing out. Good solid
stone walls will rise In this way, foot
by foot and rod by rod at time.
Roadways, bridges and paths can be
put in order, draining attended to,
fences and gates repaired, and great
deal of permanent work done which
will add convenience, profit ard in
creased value to the farm, should it
at any time be sold.-American Ag-
riculturist for July.

A Friend to AL, Honest People.

Everybody knows Col. Ingersoll's repu-
tation as lawyer and a politician, but
every one cannot speak of his personality
truly. Take the word "friend," for in
stance The broadness of the term can
not be better shown than by something
he said to a man one day last week.
They were talking of the prosaic matter
of ''new Shirts" when the colonel de-
clared he was not going to have another
made for him until he could find a shirt
maker who was honest enough to give the
woman who did the work the $3.50 each
that he was willing to allow.
"I'm afraid you'll have to wait some
time" said his companion. "Shirtmak-
ers' fortunes are not built that way"
"Then I'll wait" said the colonel
"Henceforth wear no shirt until / have
seen the woman who makes it, and she
has told me herself that she got paid for
her work"
This, then, is what the word "friend, "
as applied above, means. No man can say
that Col. Ingersoll ever paid him less than
his work was worth, even in the most lib
eral sense of the word, or that he was
ever asked for a good turn and was re-
fused. 1t is not to his friends that this
big hearted man is a friend, but to oil
honest men and women.-Fannie B. Mer-
rin in New York World.

One of the most damnable things
connected with politics in this coun-
try is that of ascribing political mo-
tives to every act and word of prom
inent man. This curses the south
much more than it does the north
and has tendency to paralyze pub
lie spirit and public enterprise. 1t is
bad enough and is growing in Mime
sofa. Public spirit is none too well
rewarded at the best, and for man
to be bounded by pack of green-eyed
boobies, demagogues, cranks and
dead-beats. every time he undertakes
to do anything or every time he re-
ceives slight attention for some act
which some one may consider worthy
or commendable, is discouraging.

Longfelloyy and His Income.

A note gives q statement of the income
earned by Longfellow from literary labor.
He kept q record of it up to the end of
1852, and the largest sum received in any
year to that date was $4,000 This was
principally for the "Poets and Poetry of
Europe; original composition brought
him much less, although in 1852 some of
his most notable things were on the mar
ket, including "Evangeline" and ''The
Golden Legend" In fact he had reached
fame long before he began to realize even
moderate fortune. The lack of an inter-
national copyright is supposed to have cost
him about $4,000. To an English lady
who complained of American pirates he
wrote: est may comfort you to know that

Coffee and Tea AdulteratIon

An enterprising daily paper, anx-
GUS to learn something of the extent
and nature of that general adulter-
alton of tea and coffee which has so
often been alleged, recently caused
several hundred samples of these to
be gathered from various retail stores
throughout the ely ofNew York, and
turned the same over to n chemist
tor analysis. The results rs published
would indicate that sophistication of
these products is so rare as to scarce
ly deserve mention, and might, as q
natural consequence, be looked to
prove that the charges so frequently
made may not be sustained.
This particular examination is
valuable in its way, but it does not
go tar enough. 1t has not by any
means proved that tea and coffee do
not suffer very generally hereabout
from adulteration. 1t only proves
that pure coffee and tea may readily
be had, il only one asks for and shows
a disposition to pay for them, and
perhaps it is not too much to add that
all this was generally known before.
Those who collected the samples
for the recent test were instructed to
ask for pure coffee and pure tea, and
were supplied with money to pay for
these articles, But let us suppose
that they contented themselves with
purchasing samples of these articles
which were placarded before their
eyes, "Pure Java Coffee" and pure
Tea" at ridiculously low prices. How
| would these have stood the test?
It is custom, now become quite
general in New York and elsewhere
to give away china and other wares
to the purchaser of q certain specified
number of pounds of tea or coffee
some stores giving tickets with each
pound sold, which tickets, when
enough are in hand. entitle the owner
to various descriptions of presents
Now. any one who has the time anC
the inclination to look (and he needn'l
go very far may find the brands o.
teas and coftees which fetch, say, Al
and so cents u pound at wholesale
marked at 80 and 20 cents respective
ly, with the promise of an ultimate
present thrown in to tempt the buyel
It doesn't require the services Of
chemist to discover how this is done
The coffee is adulterated, and the
tea blended with those of inferior
quality. 1t would be interesting tt
know just how much Chi cory thu
purchaser of low price ground coffeei
get and how much roasted hardtacl
and rye and peas. Chicory is gen
orally thought to improve the flavor
of coffee, and the average consumer
is willing to have his coffee thus
improved" to the extent of, say,
per cent; but there is reason to be-
lieve that when he pays a very low
figure, and gets share in set o
crockery besides, that 40 per cent O.
chicory, at least. is added to his
coffee. Even then the per cent O.
chicory is not greater than that
which the French and Germans are
| wont to use.
